DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The present invention resides in the discovery that novel 2-deoxy-2-fluoro analogs of 1-deoxynojirimycin and the N-derivatives thereof manifest glycosidase inhibition activity.

Accordingly, the present invention is directed to such novel analogs, to novel intermediates useful in the manufacture of such analogs, and to methods for preparing such novel intermediates and analogs.
These novel analogs and intermediates can be represented generically by the formula: ##STR3## wherein R represents hydrogen, optionally substituted alkyl radicals having from 1 to about 10 carbon atoms, optionally substituted alkenyl radicals having from 1 to about 10 carbon atoms, optionally substituted aryl, alkaryl and aralkyl radicals having from about 6 to about 16 carbon atoms and optionally substituted acyl and acyloxy radicals having from about 1 to about 10 carbon atoms; R.sup.1 represents hydrogen; R.sup.2 represents hydrogen, fluorine, and sulfonyl esters represented by the following formula: ##STR4## wherein R.sup.10 represents optionally substituted alkyl radicals having from 1 to about 6 carbon atoms and optionally substituted aryl, aralkyl and alkaryl radicals; R.sup.3 represents hydroxy or together with R.sup.2 represents a cyclic stannylene derivative of the formula ##STR5## wherein R.sup.6 and R.sup.7 independently represent alkyl radicals having from 1 to about 10 carbon atoms, or together with R.sup.1 represents an epoxide; provided that when R.sup.2 is fluorine, R.sup.3 is hydroxy; and when R.sup.2 is hydrogen, R.sup.1 and R.sup.3 together form an epoxide; and R.sup.4 and R.sup.5 represent hydrogen and hydroxy protecting groups.
More particularly, the novel analogs can be represented by the formula: ##STR6## wherein R represents hydrogen, optionally substituted alkyl radicals having from 1 to about 10 carbon atoms, optionally substituted alkenyl radicals having from 1 to about 10 carbon atoms, optionally substituted aryl, alkaryl and aralkyl radicals having from about 6 to about 16 carbon atoms and optionally substituted acyl and acyloxy radicals having from about 2 to about 10 carbon atoms.
The N-substituted-4,6-O-protected-1,2-dideoxy-2-fluoronojirimycin intermediates can be represented by the formula: ##STR7## wherein R has the same meaning as set forth above and R.sup.8 and R.sup.9 independently represent hydrogen, substituted and unsubstituted alkyl radicals having from 1 to about 10 carbon atoms and substituted and unsubstituted aryl radicals.

The 2-substituted intermediates can be represented by the formula: ##STR9## wherein R has the same meaning as set forth above; R.sup.2 represents substituted and unsubstituted sulfonyl ester represented by the formula: ##STR10## wherein R.sup.10 represents optionally substituted alkyl radicals having from 1 to about 6 carbon atoms and optionally substituted aryl, aralkyl and alkaryl radicals; and R.sup.8 and R.sup.9 have the same meaning as set forth above.
The cyclic stannylene intermediates can be represented by the formula: ##STR11## wherein R, R.sup.8 and R.sup.9 represent radicals as defined above; and R.sup.11 and R.sup.12 represent alkyl radicals having from 1 to about 10 carbon atoms.
The 1,2-dideoxy-2-fluoronojirimycin compound of the present invention can be prepared beginning with 1-deoxynojirimycin (hereinafter referred to as "DNJ"), which can be prepared by known procedures as disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,220,782; 4,246,345; and 4,806,650. The corresponding N-alkyl derivatives can then be prepared according to known procedures. See, for example, U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,220,782; 4,266,025; 4,405,714; and 4,806,650.
Starting with DNJ, the N-alkyl group can first be introduced according to known procedures. The 4-hydroxy and 6-hydroxy groups are then protected by techniques well known to those familiar with carbohydrate chemistry. These N-alkyl-4,6-O-protected derivatives can be represented by the formula: ##STR12## wherein R.sup.8 and R.sup.9 independently represent radicals as defined above. For example, utilizing 2,2-dimethoxypropane or, preferably, benzaldehyde, the corresponding 4,6-O-isopropylidene- (R.sup.8 =R.sup.9 =CH.sub.3) or - 4,6-O-benzylidene (R.sup.8 =phenyl, R.sup.9 =H) N-substituted DNJ can be produced. These reactions are generally conducted in an inert organic solvent and in the presence of a strong acid which acts as catalyst. The reactions can be conducted at temperatures of from about 0.degree. C. to about 50.degree. C., preferably from about 10.degree. C. to 40.degree. C., such as from about 20.degree. C. to about 30.degree. C. Exemplary acid catalysts include zinc chloride, p-toluenesulfonic acid and the like. During the reaction water is removed, preferably utilizing a molecular sieve such as a 3 angstrom (.ANG.) molecular seive.
Alternatively, starting with DNJ, the amino group can be protected and then the 4-hydroxy and 6-hydroxy groups are protected according to the above procedure. Protection of the amino group can be accomplished by methods well known to those familiar with amino acid chemistry. For example, the amino group can be protected utilizing a carbonyl compound represented by the formula ##STR13## wherein R' represents alkyl radicals having from 1 to about 10 carbon atoms, and aryl, aralkyl and alkaryl radicals having from about 6 to about 26 carbon atoms; or aryl or alkylaryl or araalkyl with suitable carbon numbers, A represents oxygen; n is 0 or 1; and X represents Cl, Br, I, or C(O)A.sub.n R' wherein R', A and n have the same meanings as defined above. Exemplary amino protecting groups include carbobenzoxy, butyryl, benzoyl, and the like. These reactions are generally conducted in a polar solvent and in the presence of a base at a temperature of from about 0.degree. C. to about 50.degree. C., preferably from about 0.degree. C. to about 25.degree. C. such as from about 10.degree. C. to 20.degree. C. Exemplary bases include NaHCO.sub.3, NaOH and certain tertiary amines. Exemplary solvents include water and N,N-dimethylformamide.
It is preferred, however, that the compounds of the present invention be prepared starting with DNJ, protecting the amino group with the carbobenzoxy group and then protecting the 4-hydroxy and 6-hydroxy groups utilizing the benzylidene protecting group. Optionally, the amino protecting group can then be removed by procedures well known in the art, such as with a base, e.g., KOH, NaOH, and LiOH. In this case, an alkyl acid chloride is then reacted with the 4,6-O-benzylidene-1-deoxynojirimycin to produce the N-carboalkyl-4,6-O-benzylidene-1-deoxynojirimycin, the N-carboalkyl being reduced to the desired alkyl group in a subsequent step as discussed below. Alternately, the amino protecting group can be removed in a later step as discussed below.
In order to facilitate discussion of the remaining method steps, the N-alkyl, N-carboaryloxy, N-carboallyloxy, and N-carboalkyl DNJ derivatives will be collectively referred to as N-protected. Also, the 4,6-O-protected compounds will be referred to as 4,6-O-benzylidene compounds.
The above-described N-protected-4,6-O-benzylidene-1-deoxynojirimycin is then reacted with a dialkyltin oxide (R.sup.11 R.sup.12 SnO), preferably di-n-butyltin oxide, in a suitable solvent such as methanol, benzene or toluene to form the novel corresponding cyclic stannylene derivative represented by the formula: ##STR14## wherein R, R.sup.8 and R.sup.9 have the same meaning as set forth above and R.sup.11 and R.sup.12 independently represent alkyl radicals having from 1 to about 10 carbon atoms, such as from about 1 to about 6 carbon atoms, preferably about 4 carbon atoms.
The cyclic stannylene derivative is then reacted with an electrophilic sulfonyl compound. Suitable electrophiles are sulfonyl halides and anhydrides. Preferred electrophiles are those represented by the formula: ##STR15## wherein X represents Cl, Br, I, and ##STR16## and R.sup.10 represents optionally substituted alkyl radicals having from 1 to about 6 carbon atoms and optionally substituted aralkyl and aryl radicals. Exemplary R.sup.10 radicals include phenyl, p-methylphenyl, trifluoromethyl (CF.sub.3) and methyl. A preferred electrophiIe is the p-toluenesulfonyl chloride. The reactions are conducted in an inert solvent in the presence of a base and at a temperature of between about 0.degree. C. and 100.degree. C., preferably at a temperature of from about 0.degree. C to about 25.degree. C. Exemplary bases include tertiary amines such as triethylamine, and diisopropylethyl amine, pyridine, N,N-dimethylaminopyridine, 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU) and 1,5-diazabicyclo[4.3.0]non-5-ene (DBN).
The resulting novel product of the reaction between the cyclic stannylene and the electrophile is predominantly the N-protected-2-O-substituted-4,6-O-benzylidene-1-deoxynojirimycin represented by the formula: ##STR17## wherein R.sup.2 represents a sulfonyl ester and R, R.sup.8 and R.sup.9 are as defined above. By predominant it is meant that the 2-O-substituted product is produced in excess of the 3-O-substituted product.
The sulfonyl ester at C-2 of the N-protected-2-O-substituted-4,6-O-benzylidene-1-deoxynojirimycin is then displaced under conditions which produce the corresponding N-protected-2,3-anhydro-4,6-O-benzylidene-1-deoxymannojirimycin represented by the formula: ##STR18## wherein R, R.sup.8 and R.sup.9 are as defined above. For example, utilizing a strong base such as sodium hydride, potassium hydride, a potassium or sodium alkoxide, e.g., sodium methoxide, sodium ethoxide, potassium t-butoxide and the like, or DBU, the sulfonyl ester at the 2-position is displaced, along with the oxygen, with inversion of configuration at C-2 to produce the corresponding 2,3-anhydro-1-deoxymannojirimycin. A preferred base is sodium hydride. The reaction is generally conducted in a suitable solvent in the presence of the base and at a temperature of between about 0.degree. C. and about 120.degree. C., preferably at a temperature of between about 0.degree. C. and 25.degree. C. Exemplary suitable solvents include tetrahydrofuran, methylene chloride, methanol and ethanol. A preferred solvent is tetrahydrofuran.
The N-protected-2,3-anhydro-4,6-O-benzylidene-1-deoxymannojirimycin is then reacted with a fluorine source with inversion of configuration at C-2 to produce the corresponding N-protected-4,6-O-benzylidene-1,2-dideoxy-2-fluoronojirimycin represented by the formula: ##STR19## wherein R, R.sup.8 and R.sup.9 are as defined above. The reaction is preferably conducted neat, i.e., no solvent, at a temperature of between about 50.degree. C. and 150.degree. C., preferably between about 100.degree. C. and about 140.degree. C. Exemplary fluorine sources include those represented by the formula: ##STR20## wherein R.sup.13 and R.sup.14 independently represent optionally substituted alkyl groups having from 1 to about 6 carbon atoms. A preferred alkyl group is isopropyl. Other fluoride sources include potassium hydrogen fluoride, hydrogen fluoride, hydrogen tetra-fluoroborate and tetra-alkylammonium fluorides (e.g. tetra-N-butylammonium fluoride).
The next step involves removal of the 4,6-O-protecting group, e.g., the benzylidene group, by methods well known to those skilled in the art. Generally, such protecting groups can be removed utilizing an acid in an appropriate solvent at room temperatures. For example, CF.sub.3 CO.sub.2 H in water, CH.sub.3 CO.sub.2 H in water or HCl in water can be utilized to effectively deprotect the 4- and 6-hydroxy groups. Alternatively, such protecting groups can be removed catalytically. For example, reaction with palladium on carbon at 50.degree. C. and 50 psi H.sub.2.
It should be noted that where the amino protecting group can be removed through hydrogenolysis (for example, a carbobenzoxy group), hydrogenation in the presence of palladium on carbon will remove both the nitrogen protecting group and the 4,6-O-benzylidene protecting group. Thus, deprotection can occur in one step.
Alternatively, the acyl group can be reduced utilizing borane:dimethylsulfide, lithium aluminum hydride or diborane in a suitable solvent, e.g., THF, at a temperature of from about 0.degree. C. to about 120.degree. C., preferably from about 0.degree. C. to about 25.degree. C. A preferred reducing agent is borane:dimethylsulfide Following reduction of the acyl group to the corresponding alkyl group, the 4- and 6-hydroxy protecting groups can be removed as described above.
Where other amino protecting groups are utilized, however, one can remove such groups either prior to or following deprotection of the 4-and 6-hydroxy groups utilizing well known methods and, if desired, replace such groups with an appropriate alkyl group by methods well known in the art.

A total of 75.0 g (0.46 moles) of 1-deoxynojirimycin was dissolved in 1500 mL of saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate and then treated with 73.5 mL (87.8 g, 0.52 moles) of 95% benzyl chloroformate at room temperature using an overhead stirrer under a nitrogen atmosphere for eighteen hours. The solution was extracted once with 250 mL of methylene chloride to remove any benzyl chloride and unreacted benzyl chloroformate. The aqueous solution was then extracted ten times with 500 mL of ethyl acetate. After drying over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtering and removal of solvent, 102.8 g (76% yield) of a colorless oil was obtained which was identified as N-carbobenzoxy-1-deoxynojirimycin of sufficient purity for use in the next step; 300 MHz .sup.1 H NMR (.delta., CD.sub.3 OD) 7.40-7.20 (m, 5H), 5.15 (s, 2H), 4.23 (br m, 1H), 4.05 (br d, J=8.0 Hz, 1H), 3.87 (dd, J=4.0 and 6.0 Hz, 1H), 3.85-3.78 (m, 2H), 3.78-3.70 (m, 2H), and 3.45 (br d, J=8.0 Hz, 1H).
To 102 g (0.345 mol) of N-carbobenzoxy-1-deoxynojirimycin, which had been dried in vacuo over phosphorous pentoxide overnight, was added 1000 mL of benzaldehyde (dried with 3 .ANG. molecular sieves). This was warmed at 40.degree. C. while swirling on a rotory evaporator (no vacuum) until the oil was fully dissolved, then split in half and each half transferred to a 5 L three-necked flask and an additional 200 mL of benzaldehyde used to rinse the flask and 100 mL added to each reaction. After placing each reaction flask under nitrogen, 101 g of freshly activated 3 .ANG. molecular sieves were added and then 257.6 g of anhydrous zinc chloride (dried in vacuo overnight over P.sub.2 O.sub.5) was added and some warming observed.

Preparation of N-Butyryl-4,6-O-benzylidene-1-deoxynojirimycin
To a solution of 44.5 g (0.79 moles) of potassium hydroxide in 425 mL of methanol and 155 mL of water, was added 45 g (0.12 moles) of N-carbobenzoxy-4,6-O-benzylidene-1-deoxynojirimycin and the mixture refluxed under a nitrogen atmosphere for sixty-seven hours. After cooling to room temperature, the methanol was removed under reduced pressure, the residue transferred to a 2 L 3-necked flask and 100 mL of tetrahydrofuran added. The suspension was vigorously stirred, cooled in ice and 15.5 mL (15.9 g, 0.15 mol, 1.24 equiv.) of butyryl chloride added over ten minutes. After removal of the ice bath, the reaction was stirred at room temperature and monitored by tlc on silica gel using (20% v:v) methanol/methylene chloride as eluent. After 3 hours, an additional 3 mL of butyryl chloride was added and this was repeated 3xs until tlc indicated complete disappearance of the amine. The reaction was cooled in ice and acidified to neutral pH with 1N hydrochloric acid. The tetrahydrofuran was removed under reduced pressure and the aqueous layer extracted twice with 700 mL of methylene chloride. After combining, the organic layers were washed with saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated to afford 49.3 g of a clear oil. This was chromatographed on a Waters Prep 500A chromatogram using two silica gel cartridges and eluting first with 50:50 (v:v) ethyl acetate/hexane and then ethyl acetate.

Preparation of N-Butyl-1,2-dideoxy-2-fluoronojirimycin
To a solution of 1.50 g (4.64 mmol) of N-butyryl-4, 6-O-benzylidene 1,2-dideoxy-2-fluoronojirimycin in 8.9 mL of anhydrous tetrahydrofuran under a nitrogen atmosphere of 0.degree. C., was added 3 mL (30 mmol, 6.5 equiv.) of 10 M borane:methyl sulfide complex over a ten-minute period. The ice bath was removed and the reaction stirred at room temperature for four hours. After cooling to 0.degree. C., 8.4 mL of anhydrous methanol was slowly added over ten minutes and stirring continued for an additional thirty minutes. The volatiles were removed under reduced pressure, the residue dissolved in 50 mL of methylene chloride, extracted twice with a saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtered and stripped to afford 1.43 g of a clear oil. This was dissolved in a mixture of 15 mL of water and 15 mL of trifluoroacetic acid and stirred at room temperature for three hours. The volatiles were removed under reduced pressure, toluene added and removed, then methanol added and removed. The residue was triturated with diethyl ether. The residue was dried under vacuum to afford 1.0 g of an off-white solid. An Amberlite CG-400 (C1.sup.- form) resin was conditioned as follows; in an addition funnel, 25 mL of the resin was washed with 250 mL of aqueous 1N sodium hydroxide solution and then with water until the pH stabiliized at approximately 5. The crude product was dissolved in a minimal amount of water, applied to the column and eluted with 150 mL of water. Lyophilization of the eluant afforded 610 mg of material. This was then chromatographed on 23 g of Aldrich silica gel (230-400 mesh, 60 .ANG.) using 10% (v:v) ethanol/methylene chloride to afford 250 mg (24%) of pure material, which was recrystallized from ethanol/hexane to afford 210 mg (20% yield) of a white powder, mp 92.degree.

EXAMPLE 13
This example illustrates glycosidase inhibition activity for 1,2-dideoxy-2-fluoronojirimycin (1) and N-butyl-1,2-dideoxy-2-fluoronojirimycin (2). It is contemplated that other N-derivatives will also manifest glycosidase inhibition activity.
The glycosidase inhibition activity is determined by modifying an assay procedure described in Evans et al, Phytochemistry, 22, pp. 768-770 (1983). More particularly, yeast .alpha.-glucosidase and almond .beta.-glucosidase activities were measured by the Evans et al method which was modified by assaying activities at pH 7.4 in N-2-hydroxyethylpiperazine-N-2-ethane sulfonic acid (HEPES) buffer, measuring in 96 well microtiter plates, and including 10% DMSO in control and test samples.
The release of p-nitrophenol from the substrate p-nitrophenylglycoside was measured spectrophotometrically in the presence and absence of test compound. Each assay included a known inhibitor of the enzyme as a standard. IC.sub.50 values were determined for compounds which inhibited the enzymes more than 50% at a 1 millimolar concentration.
.alpha.-Glucosidase Inhibition Assay, pH 7.4
To 100 ul 50 mM HEPES buffer, pH 7.4, in a microtiter plate, 20 ul test compound in DMSO (DMSO alone in control)and 40 ul (0.013 units) yeast .alpha.-glucosidase (Sigma) in HEPES buffer were added and pre-incubated at room temperature 15 minutes. 40 ul 1.25 mM p-nitro-phenyl-.alpha.-D-glucopyranoside (Sigma) in HEPES buffer, as substrate was added and the absorbance change at 405 nm was monitored in a Biotek EIA Autoreader. Absorption change was measured at 15 to 25 minutes (reaction was linear for at least 30 minutes). Each sample was tested in triplicate. IC.sub.50 values were determined from the linear portion of the log concentration vs percent inhibition curve obtained from a minimum of 3 points. Deoxynojirimycin was used as standard inhibitor.
.beta.-Glucosidase Inhibition Assay
pH 7.4
To 100 ul 50 mM HEPES buffer, pH 7.4, in a microtiter plate, 20 ul test compound in DMSO (DMSO alone in control) and 40 ul (0.136 units) .beta.-glucosidase (Sigma) in HEPES buffer were added and pre-incubated at room temperature 15 minutes. 40 ul 1.25 mM p-nitrophenyl-.beta.-D-glucopyranoside in HEPES buffer was added as substrate and the absorbance change at 405 nm was monitored utilizing a Biotek EIA Autoreader. Absorption change was measured at 15 to 25 minutes (reaction is linear for at least 30 minutes). Each sample was tested in triplicate. IC.sub.50 values were determined from the linear portion of the log concentration vs percent inhibition curve obtained from a minimum of 3 points. Castanospermine was used as standard inhibitor.
pH 4.8
To 100 ul 50 mM sodium citrate buffer, pH 4.8, in a microtiter plate, 20 ul test compound in DMSO (DMSO alone in control) and 20 ul (.017 units) .beta.-glucosidase (Sigma) in citrate buffer were added and pre-incubated at room temperature 15 minutes. 20 ul 2.50 mM p-nitrophenyl-.beta.-D-glucopyranside in citrate buffer was added as substrate and incubated at room temperature 20 minutes (reaction is linear for at least 30 minutes). 50 ul 0.4 M NaOH was added and the absorption change at 405 nm was determined utilizing a Biotek EIA Autoreader. Each sample was tested in triplicate. IC.sub.50 values were determined from the linear portion of the log concentration vs percent inhibition curve obtained from a minimum of 3 points. Castanospermine was used as standard inhibitor.
